Ball mill about there

[oldguy]

 

Bolt motor down, add belt & idler arm tension sheeve & its rolling

 

Also install a ground wire, a high end timer & large toggle type dead man off/on switches in easy to reach spots on both ends of the mill. In case I want to cut power off quickly.

 

As for finishing the jars. Plan there is to use ½ inch plywood inner & outer laminated together, with Formica laminated to the inner facing, sealed in place with both epoxy & screws.

Use 4 inch Schedule 40 PCV pipe as a jar mouth, held in place with a pipe flange & for a closure use a rubber pressure test cap.

 

Something like this below:
